Sprint and the cheapening of HTC

I was looking on my shelf, at the boxes of old smartphones...

My oldest, a ppc6700 is gone, not even a box, but here is a Mogul box, and a Touch pro, and a Touch pro 2...




So here's the deal. Lets start with the left most, the Mogul or PPC6800.

Sprint Power Vision Smart Device
Standard Battery
AC Phoen Charger
Stereo Headset with Microphone
Mini USB Sync Cabe
Mini USB to Two Mini USB Adapter
Mini USB to 2.5mm Headset Adapter
2 Styli
Leather Carry Pouch
Micro SD 512MB
Clean Screen protector
Software CD
Getting started packet
Sprint terms and conditions notice.

Thats what came in the box... its a big box too.
Now the Touch pro [middle]

HTC Touch Pro
Standard battery
AC Phone Charger
Carry Case
Stereo Headset
USB Sync Cable
MicroSD Memory Card 1GB
Screen Protector
Software CD
Get started guide
Experience Sprint Speed brochure
Setup email guide
Basics guide
Terms and conditions guide

Now keep in mind, I am typing this verbatim from the boxes...

now for the touch pro 2:

HTC Touch Pro 2
Standard battery
AC Phone Charger
Screen protector
Styli
Sim Card
get Started guide
Setup email guide
features guide
basics guide
software cd
terms and services
wireless recycling envelope

Now, At $199 the Mogul was cool, the touch pro was $299 and the TP2 $349 all these on contract. Is it just me or should I not feel a bit ripped off. I want my headphones and card and case! I might be a dork, but I used them!

What do you all think?
